Come Undone

I know I have a tendency to take things to extremes
And I used to love to hear you laugh but now it only makes me wanna scream
Maybe we’d better not French kiss; you might cut yourself on my tongue
Sometimes I act like a cranky old man but I still feel so young
A peculiar mix of innocence and intelligence; it’s what you liked me for
And against my better judgment I invite you back to torment me some more

You, complaining ‘bout the breeze that makes it hard to read the paper
And me, staring at your lips and wondering how I ever could escape you
So neither one of us has a strong chin; does that mean that we shouldn’t have kids?
That’s very astute but the point is moot ‘cause you keep rejecting all of my bids
For the one thing left in this world that I still just can’t be cynical about
Maybe I’ll have to rethink that ‘cause it seems you’re gonna make me do without

I find it difficult to talk to you without sounding bitter
And my situation is a loser ‘cause either I’m a pest or I’m a quitter
If you fell in love with me, would that be such a crime?
Then you could suck the life right out of me just one more time
It’s not that I’m no fun; it’s just that I’m no fun around you
And I can’t shake the demon skunk no matter what I do

Life with you is pure frustration
And I just can’t find any motivation
To get my ass up out of bed
And get your voice out of my head
And find the will to be misled
By some other chick but you; instead
I’ll call you back although you said
I’m never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever gonna have you

So let’s smile and laugh and drink a cup of coffee and pretend we’re having fun
And if you look real carefully you just might get to watch me come undone
